India's only true rockstar, composer, singer and now a successful actor, Himesh Reshammiya rocked the box-office with Aap Ka Surroor, proving to all that his massive fan following does translate into ticket sales. Now, after a gap of almost a year, Himesh is back once again with his favourite banner, T-Series and the remake of Subhash Ghai's immortal suspense-cum-revenge drama, Karz. Expectations are once again manifold from this project as audio giants T-Series are the producers and nothing short of excellence in the music department is expected.
The first look of Himesh's title track 'Lut Jaon Lut Jaon' sent his fans into a tizzy with the promo carrying excellent response all over. Superb metallic flute notes, Harshdeep's haunting, slightly inebriated vocals and trademark Himesh's nasal alaaps provide the perfect 'agaaz' (start) to Lut Jaon'. It has tremendous repeat value and it would not be an exaggeration to say that this is one of the most bewitching songs by Himesh ever. He has put in his best into composing, singing as well as the arrangements. He sings with utmost feeling and Harshdeep's intermittent "Sufi" styled rendition is a class act! The melody is new and infectious and the programmed blend of flute and synthesized arrangements in the background provide a suitable foil to the composition. Sameer too needs to be commended for his masterly hold over Urdu. Never once does he make the lyrics too heavy. The song will appeal to both the masses and the classes (a rare distinction for Himesh) and will rule the charts for days to come.
The 'Lut Jaon-Club and Lounge Mix' is for the youth and so the required addendums are there to convert it into a dance track. The tempo is super-fast and may appeal to the target audience. 'The Pink Panther' theme music, along with lovely metallic flute notes have been liberally used to give the remix a mysterious touch.
"Doston yeh mohabbat bhi kya cheez hai, Na jeene deti hai, Na marne deti his, Ab aap longon ka sahara hai, Dua kijiyega, Kyonki woh mujhe na mili toh mar hee jaonga." With this emphatic, heart touching appeal Himesh kickstarts 'Hari Om'. Needless to say that the title (and the start) is inspired from Kishore Kumar's evergreen, classic 'Om Shanti Om' (Karz) that is popular even today. However, there is no need to get alarmed as this is not a remake (we mean remix!) of the original as Himesh does his own stuff. This is another superb all-out effort from the singer-composer and it can be said to be Himesh's answer to Pritam's 'Hare Krishna, Hare Ram'. The fast tempo with slightly rockish touch is most probably a stage performance number (remember Himesh plays a rock star) and so guitar, drums, synthesizer, along with plate and bead sounds have been utilized to their maximum to lend the desired effect. The guitar piece is simply superb. The English portion too has been done tastefully and so it doesn't appear forced. |
